What is a Music Management Contract?
A music management contract is a legal agreement between a music artist and a management company that outlines the terms for handling business affairs on behalf of the artist. The agreement will typically outline compensation terms, responsibilities, decision making powers, and more.
A well structured management contract should incentivize the management company to grow the music artist's career by finding new commercial opportunities (i.e., concert performances, endorsement deals, etc.) so the artist can focus on creating and performing their music.
Some terms that may be specific to music management contracts are:
- Decision Making Authority
- Exclusivity
- Post-Contract Obligations (Sunset Clauses)
- Expenses
- Compensation

Delivering proactive and strategic guidance to health and fitness professionals and entities as they scale.
"Heather reviewed our SaaS terms, privacy policy, and disclaimer on a flat-fee basis and delivered exactly what we needed: clear, practical redlines with plain-English explanations, on schedule. She caught the issues that mattered, including a nuanced state-law privacy question, without over-lawyering, and her turnaround was fast. Easy to work with, business-aware, and I'd hire her again. Highly recommended for early-stage SaaS founders."

Jeffrey W.
I am a business, transactions, contracts attorney. I was the sole in-house attorney for a good-sized staffing company. I can review and create nearly any type of document you need. I enjoy writing, reading, and editing contracts. I want to read your contract. If I cannot do it, I won't take the job and I won't charge you for what I cannot do. However, in reality, unless you need a 225 page financing agreement, is has never been an issue.
Scott S.
I specialize in business law and contracts, with an emphasis on commercial transactions and negotiations, document drafting and review, employment, business formation, e-commerce, technology, healthcare, privacy, commercial real estate, data security and compliance. Specifically, I've drafted, reviewed and/or negotiated thousands of MSA's, NDA's, TOS', SAAS, sales, service, managed services, referral, reseller, royalty, finder’s fee, employment, contractor, consulting, advertising, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, management, artist, author, agency, photography, rental, lease, vendor, partnership, website, platform, application, privacy, non-compete, non-circumvent, confidentiality, IP ownership and licensing agreements so I'm very familiar with these types of documents. Practicing law since 2006, I worked in-house before starting my own solo practitioner law firm in 2011. I've worked with individuals and start-ups, Fortune 500 companies, and every type of entity in between, always providing quality legal work that fits the exact needs of the person and/or business. I’m a graduate of the Benjamin Cardozo Law School and also have an English degree from Penn.

Memoir review
"Sara did a lot of work on my project. Sara was always responded quickly, spend a lot of time on my project, and gave extensive written feedback. I would have liked to have had a bid that included a follow up call to discuss her feedback. I would recommend including an initial call and a follow up call to clarify needs and to process and get explanations to the feedback. I feel a lot is lost in texts and email and a phone or zoom call really could have cleared up some things. Thank you!"
